Answer 20

Zero is technically not a number, but it is special because it allows several things to be done with math that could not be done without it. If zero represents nothing, negative integers can be used to express quantities less than nothing. Also, our number system is based on ten, and the zero to the right of a one means ten and no more. A two and a zero mean twenty and no more, and on and on.
@jiteshmeghwal9 ok is it clear??

Answer 21

By itself zero does not have any value but when placed after another digit it increases the value of that digit 10 folds, 100 folds etc. depending on how many zeros are placed after the digit........
